Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub

April 25, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I told you I have been on a major barbecue kick lately and I can’t stop myself.  Last week I brought to you my Memphis Style Rub with Grilled Pork Tenderloin and was it mighty good, but today I am sharing with you Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub, aaaaamazing!!!
Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub
This may look like a big piece of burnt meat, but oh my gosh it is so good!! The meat may have cooked a pinch longer than it should have, but it was still fork tender and the skin was unbeatable! The rub that I made  has brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground pepper, salt and a couple more ingredients. The rub is a little sweet and a little spicy and when it cooked on the brisket it made a wonderful, thick, caramelized  glaze. I think I’m in love!!  I might just like this better than my Memphis Rub, but not sure.  I’ll have to do a cook off with myself to test it out.  Sounds like a fun weekend for me!  You can check out the brisket when I put the rub on it.  Here’s the picture that I shot on Instagram.
Homemade Carolina Rub
To make the brisket, I added my rub to it and let it marinate for a couple of hours. You can do this for up to 24 hours. I cooked it on a charcoal grill because I believe that would give the brisket the best flavor. We heated the charcoal and once it turned to ash, we pushed it to one side of the grill. We placed the brisket to the opposite side of the grill with fat side up. Then we let it cook for about 5 hours, add more charcoal coals as needed. Cooking time depends on how big of a piece of brisket you have.

Prep time
10 mins
Total time
5 hours 10 mins
 
A slow cooked, smoked brisket that has been covered in a sweet and spicy homemade Carolina Style Rub.
Serves: 24 oz
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup paprika
  • 2 tbsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp. chili powder
  • 2 tbsp. black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 pound beef brisket
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, add paprika, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  2. Sprinkle rub on to brisket, rub it in until the whole brisket is covered. You can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours if desired.
  3. If using a charcoal grill, heat the charcoal, once it turns to ash, push the charcoal to one side of the grill and place brisket over the opposite side (side without the charcoal) with fat side facing up. That way you are slowly cooking and smoking your brisket. Cook the brisket until tender enough to shred with your fingers; 5 hours, but it may take as long as 8 (cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and heat of the grill). Note: You may have to add more coals. Just check on it every hour or so.
  4. Remove the brisket from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain.

Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub
I highly recommend using a rub when cooking your meat. The past couple of weeks was the first time that I started to use rubs and let me tell you it tastes great. The skin of your meat tastes restaurant style and truly in my opinion the best. Make your own rubs, like this one! There are so many options out there, make what you like. The next one I think is going to be super spicy! Just saying! he he

Have a fabulous weekend!! Hope you can get your grills going!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Oh you should try it. It’s a very simple recipe and brisket isn’t to bad priced if you buy it at Costco.

    Aaaaaaaaawesome sounding. I love brisket. This rub sounds like it would be good on just about anything. I’m ready for grilling season.

    Curious how you say Sugar 0 when you have 4 tablespoons in the rub?

      Hi, because the sugar level is so low that it registered as zero when I added the calculation.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
